[bloodofwar]

ok so when u have ur ElwynCampFire.m2 U NEED TO MAKE EXACT SPELLING WITH THE CAPS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE

k go into WoW studio and open the Texture.MPQ and find the elwyncampfire skin (blp) once u have found make sure u know what its called (i think its ElywnCampFireSkin.blp but double check that) Once u know what its called Find the Darkportal skin. save that as what the Elwyncamp fire was called. Once u do that go to Pack (P) at top. Create a new MPQ archive in the WoW data folder called ''Speech2'' Once u do, then go to pack again and add file to archive. find ElwynCampfire.m2 BUT DONT SAVE IT YET! make it (folder that led to folder with Elwyncampfire in it)\(same thing as b4)\ONCE U HAVE GOT TO THE CORE, WHERE ELWYNCAMPFIRE IS FOUND SAVE. Then do the same thing with the .blp file. Then go to pack and click save and close MPQ archive, then u can start up ur game and set a fire!


if u dont get anything just ask!

Is it possible if you could package it? I have no idea where to find the Dark Portal files =( +1 Anyways.

i kinda got lost at creating folders leading to something or another. I make that in data? and then i move ElwynnCampfireRock02.blp(which is actually a chicken because i could not find dark portal) in there?

**i just tried what i thought you said and it didnt work lol

[bloodofwar]

hmmm have u seen the Model Editing for Dummies post? that should help alot. Maybe try a DruidBear model switch and then u might get it better so u can do this

[Cloud]

[Krazzee]

[bloodofwar]
